On this week’s capotesque episode of Oeuvre Busters, Liam and George discuss 2005’s Capote, starring (no, really) Philip Seymour Hoffman, Catherine Keener and Clifton Collins Jr., and directed by Bennett Miller. Topics covered: our favorite communist novels; Gore Vidal’s Wildean wit; the origin of Tennessee Williams’s The Glass Menagerie; trips to Spain. And Weekend at Bernie’s relationship to the American avant-garde.  Topics not covered? How Stendhal’s experiences during the Napoleonic Wars were foundational to his novels, in particular The Charterhouse of Parma, his last work.    You can find more OB content at www.oeuvrebusters.com.
